Chamber of Reps Feby 15 1824
I Christopher Rankin a representative of the State of Mississippi in the Congress of the United States do certify that, after my return to this State last spring, subsequent to the adjournment of the last Congress John Fade of the County of Jefferson and State of Mississippi and who is well known to me applied to me alleging that he was entitled to a revolutionary Pension from the U. States and that he had made his declaration before the Hon John Taylor who was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of said State and one of the Judges of the Circuit Court and that his declaration had been forwarded, as he understood by Judge Taylor to the War Department - Judge Taylor had died some time previously to that time. Immediately went with Mr Fade to Henry Postlethwaite the administrator of the estate of Judge Taylor & who stated that he had found the certificate which authorized Mr Fade to draw a Pension among the papers of Judge Taylor after his decease and that he had himself handed it to some one but to whom he could not recollect to be delivered to Mr Fade. I then went with Mr Fade to Gabriel Bechenour Esq the agent of the U. States for the payment of Pensions in the State of Mississippi.

Supposing that the certificate might have been placed with him or that he might have some knowledge of it? He stated that he had no knowledge of it & that nothing could be paid by him to Fade until the certificate was produced. I am well acquainted with John Fade have the fullest confidence in his statement & that he never received the certificate or any part of the sum allowed him as a revolutionary Pension and that he is the person for whose favor the original certificate issued under the 4 th Act or the Act of the 18 th of March, 1818 allowing pensions to the officers & soldiers of the revolutionary war & for whom I have received a certificate under the Act of the 2 nd of March 1823.
Christopher Rankin
P.S. That no mistake should occur, if from any circumstance Mr Fade should become possessed of his former certificate, I should for my own satisfaction wish that any second certificate should be paid only on the event the original is not produced & so directed.
